The McCartney Crew: When even their designer looks chic, it only seems fitting to hail all the Stella McCartney wearers first. Cara Delevingne opted for a classy black and white pant and top ensemble, finishing the look with a half up do which keeps her looking chic and youthful. Reese Witherspoon and Kate Bosworth went for simple but bright frocks which radiated summer and kept them looking the classiest ladies of the night. Lastly, Rihanna went fully white in a floor length back-and-midriff baring gown. Instead of over-kooky, her hair was messy yet intentional, and it looked great.

Golden girl Blake Lively has modelled for the likes of Chanel and Gucci, and this bespoke Gucci Premiere gown looks divine, flattering her figure. Here’s her with the equally dapper Ryan Reynolds.

Chanel Tanks? Fashion house extraordinaire Chanel seems to be at least partially responsible for some of the worst looks of the night, with an utterly bewildering gown on Chloe Moretz, a star which deserves a far more beautiful gown given her amazing hair and make-up.

New face of Chanel Kristen Stewart seems to follow this trend with an ensemble that might look slightly better on a taller star taller, with more punk sass to pull it off.

Karlie Kloss and Jourdan Dunn continued their reigns on the top of the model fashion charts with suitably stunning floor length gowns and taking advantage of their height, reminded us why they are loved as the top clothes horses of the world.

Dapper suits: Benedict Cumberbatch and Colin Firth contrast with the suit-wearing men by pulling off beautiful white tie combinations. Man-of-all-suits Tom Ford joins this suave looking posse.

Emma Stone goes for a custom Thakoon tank and skirt to create a long, sarong-style beach look. Her look may raise eyebrows over whether it’s suitable for the Met Gala, but compared to her peers, she dresses her age and looks suitably stylish.

By contrast, Selena Gomez seems to be playing it overly safe with a floor length burgundy gown which, compared to singer Lea Michele, doesn’t seem to dazzle. Unfortunately, neither her hair nor make up seems to make up for it.

Kimye – no opinions are brought to the table here. You know you secretly just want a picture

Yay or Nay? Katie Holmes in Marchesa 2014. It seems we’re dialing back to the days when a Gala/Ball should really be just that. Katie seems to be channeling the old novels and period dramas – whilst the colour may be questionable, it does make her look fresh and vibrant. Coupled with her tousled hair she looks great.

Lastly – Lupita Nyong’o: Fresh from her Oscar win, she’s the belle of the ball. But is it her or her Prada gown we’re drawn to? I’ve tried staring at it for a good while, and it still hasn’t quite grown on me. In fact, it looks more like it’s growing on her!
